Mother's Day and more on Eli!!

Yahoo 28 weeks Down!!

Well it has been a while since I did a post all about our new little guy so I figured I had a lot of catching up to do. He is getting more and more active. Sometimes I even think he has little adventures going on in my tummy. I like to watch my stomach pop out from where he is kicking me. It reminds me of those old cartoons when their hearts are beating. I seriously feel like he is kicking out that far! I usually like when he kicks me but sometimes I have to talk to him and tell him he isn't being nice and that really hurts Mama. He usually stops right away so he is already a great listener and very obedient.

Things I don't want to forget....
1. On May 9th I had my glucose test. I have to drink this really sugary drink and then they will draw your blood exactly one hour later. They gave me the drink at my last visit and every time I opened my fridge it was a reminder of the fun times I had a head. I remember my sister not liking the drink at all so I was really worried I was going to throw it up. Well 30 minutes before my appointment I went to go drink the Fruit Punch flavored sugar drink and I couldn't get it open. Jacob couldn't go with me to this appointment so I was on my own getting this open. After 5 minutes of trying and totally failing I decided it was time to panic. (if I didn't pass this test then I would have to go back for a 3 hour test....no way I wanted that). I called Jacob and he told me to run to a neighbor and have them open it. Well for some reason everyone decided they didn't need to be home. I was at someones door I don't even know when all the sudden I got it open and I just started to drink it as fast as possible. It didn't taste that bad...I actually liked the 1st 2 sips then it got to sugary and I had a headache the rest of the day, but other then that it went great.

2. This doctor's appointment was also a big deal because I officially entered my third and final trimester. You usually go in every month and then after this visit you go to biweekly visits. Well my doctor said everything looks so great that he wanted to keep me at monthly visits. He explained that they usually go down but he felt there was not need to see me I was doing great. I loved hearing this...when your pregnant you can worry so much!!

3. I think I am also starting to get big enough where people feel they can come talk to me about the baby. I have had some weird comments. I am getting those little jokes like I am eating to much or something....this is not a funny joke. I really don't understand why anyone would think this is funny. Also this past weekend I started getting people touching my stomach. Now this is fine if I know you, but I was getting a pedicure and a lady touched my stomach!! Not a huge deal, but kind of weird...and I feel totally NOT NORMAL. Just for the record if I know you that's fine, but if you don't NO TOUCHY! I have a feeling this is only going to get worse, and I am to nice to say anything so I am going to have to just accept this weird thing.

4. Now my feet have been hurting really bad. So bad in fact I feel like I am playing volleyball all day again. I have been doing everything I can think of to numb the pain, but it is pretty frustrating. I have even gone to the chiropractor and bought surgical stockings to helped with the circulation. I have almost all movement back and I think I have gotten over this little bump...I HOPE!

5. This isn't something I really want to remember, but more something I wonder about often. Do other pregnant women feel like a duck? I seriously feel like when I look in the mirror I have a strong resemblance to Donald Duck! I wonder if I waddle when I walk? If you see me you will have to answer this question for me.

6. This story is one of my favorites so far. The other day I was at my parents house. I was walking down the stairs and my nephew Austin was walking up them. This angle put my stomach right in his face. He stops puts both hands and my stomach and says, "Stacy, whens your baby gunna hatch? " As he is shaking my stomach. Even now this cracks me up!!

7. On Sunday I was walking out of the Young Women's room talking to a few of my girls. Some of Jacob's priest were right outside the door and we all started talking. A few more priest started to walk up to us and when they saw me in the group they started pointing at my stomach saying, "Hey there is Elijah! Hi Elijah!!" I thought this was so cute because how many 16 to 18 year old Young Men would do that? I seriously love our youth they are so cute and sweet!!

8. My final memory for today is Mother's Day. This was my 1st and Jacob was so sweet. He got my Rose's and a card. I loved both of them I could tell he put a lot of thought into which flowers to get and which card was best to give me. He also treated me like a princess the whole day...he does this normally but he went the extra mile. I am so so so so lucky to have Jacob as my husband.

These are the flowers Jacob got me. I just love the color. They got a little wilted, because he hid them in the hot car so I wouldn't find them.

My mom got my sister and I these slippers. It was cute because we were both dressed for church, but we took off our church shoes and put these on. We were both at the kitchen sink cooking dinner with our new Slippers. The kids thought it was funny.
